in reply to Are you using 5.10.0 ?

It comes as standard with Debian Lenny and above, so I'm using because it's automatically there. I will manually install the last 5.8, as I need older Perls to do regressions tests on my own modules.

There is also an argument to keep two Perls on your system, one shipped by the vendor which you leave alone and one you manually install and maintain that you use yourself.
